See the README file upon unpacking the source archive. The Linux version is currently not modularized, sorry.

If you are looking for information about Common Lisp, a good starting place is CLiki. Many libraries and links to further documentation can be found here.

If you are new to Emacs, it is recommended that you read the Emacs Tutorial which you can access from with Emacs by going to the Help menu, or by typing Control-h, letting go, and hitting t. A more extensive manual is also available from the Help menu, or on the web at http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/.

SLIME is an integrated development environment for Emacs which interfaces with a Common Lisp implementation over a network socket. Lots of information about SLIME can be found at the SLIME node on CLiki. The manual for SLIME is available in PDF format online.
